UNSPSC 85531475: Replacement of left femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 06RN0KZ

The UNSPSC code 85531475 Replacement of left femoral vein with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve surgical procedures or vascular replacements; instead, they address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans. These solicitations reflect administrative and preventive healthcare services that fall outside the scope of a specific intravenous surgical procedure.

The mismatch between the code's procedural content and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a structural issue in how the underlying jurisdictions classify healthcare procurement. No state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB in the recent record names vascular replacement procedures as the object of procurement, and no jurisdiction appears to be sourcing surgical implants or operative services under this code. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in this space, as the current code does not reflect genuine state and local demand for the service its name describes.
